[@yo2trader539]

@@themengene1132 There can be a million reasons why somebody may have Turkic ancestry. Most people in Anatolia don't carry Turkic DNA, which originates from Mongolia and South Siberia. Ancient Bulgars were a mixture of westward migrating Turkic tribes and indigenous Uralic people. Avars--the people before Magyars/Hungarians--in the Carpathian basin also had partial Turkic ancestry. Similarly, many Tatars fled all over after Slavic incursions into their lands for centuries.

I didn’t even know this place exists, I’m super interested to learn about it! 🙏🏼

[@AndreiBerezin]

I wonder how it is like that, when people dont know other countries even exist. At 20 years I already knew all world countries names, all of united States, all provinces of INDIA, Brazil, some China provinces, all States of Australia, Canada, whatever. How come you didnt know about a place that big? I wonder what people do at school instead of learning geography

[@jackieneversays]

@@AndreiBerezin such an unnecessary comment. lol

[@porkchopsammies79]

@@AndreiBerezin depends on the school system. In the US, we were taught almost nothing about Russia, or even most of Asia. Our world history and geography revolved around what specifically affected and influenced our country. Mostly European history and it's migrants to the US. Most i knew about Russia growing up was the cold war, KGB, and minimally it's tzars. certainly not it's geography. US government paid (tax payer paid) education loved to spend it's time inundating it's children on how we (European migrants) took the land from the natives and developed it, our civil war that led to freeing the slaves, and teaching us that we were the hero's of WW2. Most Americans, sadly, couldn't even tell you all the capitols of all our states. And certainly not all the provinces in Canada or Mexico. You could, however, learn these things in colleges/universities if your focus was world history or geography specifically. Fortunately, much has changed since the 80's & 90's and i believe our awareness and interest has increased with the age of the internet :)

[@user-sj1tx5uy8f]

@Emre Demir no, they definitely teach you about the ottoman empire here in America, that guy just didn't pay attention in class hahaha. I suppose it depends on the state's school system, though.

[@user-sj1tx5uy8f]

@Emre Demir my learning is tainted by my own research, but if I recall correctly, in school we learned a bit about trade, methods of conquering, fighting over Constantinople, and the leaders therein. We learned about the ottomans in the context of how they affected the world around them, specifically. Geography is frequently glossed over in regards to the original post, but there's no way we didn't talk about the ottoman empire

[@hurguler]

As a Turkish person I knew about the Yakut/Saka Turks but I didn't realize how huge Yakiutia was as a region. In Turkish Yakut means "ruby" gemstone.

Very interesting facts well presented ! I did not realize that Yakutia and Yakut are Russian terms and that Sakha/Sakhalar was what you called yourselves. Similar to how Hungary and Hungarian are used internationally but we call ourselves Magyar and the country Magyarország :-) I have an interest in authentic traditional folk music and dance as done by regular people (not stylized performances by professionals).

The Title is "Toyon a dog of the North and his people". It's about the lives of people of your region (Yakutsk/Verkhoyansk) and their hero dog during the time of the Czar Nicholas II.
